I have found a weird delight. Not a torture thing I promise you. I have sort of 'craved' foods lately. My husband made a french dip dish. I opened the bread and smelled it like I would lavender or a rose. I love lavender but would hate to eat it.
I've taken this opportunity to get 'satisfied' in just smelling like a flower. Finally the husband said "okay, I need to eat that you know" but it was such an amazing smell, and I could swear I got 'full' off of it.

R1P2: Day 20 of VLCD
Weight: 264.6 lbs (For a second I thought i went up.)
Loss of: .2 lbs
Total Loss: 19.2 lbs
If it wasn't for the every other day of 1.4 I think I would be depressed.
Lunch:
Tuna (albacore white w/ water)
Salad
Apple for snack
Dinner:
Cod w/ lemon and dill
cucumber salad - vinegar, dill, mustard powder YUM!
I'm not sure why I have those fluxes. I mean, they have a rythym. Big, small, big, small. NOt really a big big small, big small small big big. I mean: Big small big small.
Anyone have this before? I'm eating on protocol and I don't have 1 food that slows me down over another. Im going to try a test of eating the exact same thing today as I did yesterday. Or maybe put a control down today. I'm craving a nice grapefruit in the morning. But I want to try eating 4 days exactly the same w/ the same water and see what happens. If its more my body or I'm missing something in my food that I happen to put in every other day. Which is weird.
I've lost a roll of fat, so I know I'm lossing inches.
My mother is asking me to go to the gym w/ her. She doesn't want me to lose my muscles. I understand. But I still think it's funny trying to tell someone who is so in to exercising that I have to be careful.
I'm tempted to ask to get measured, but I know I will get funny looks from the lady. Your really only suppose to do it once a month there. I need her to teach me how to measure.
anywho.

R1P2: Day 19 of VLCD
Somehow I mixed up the days. hmm. It really is day 19.
Weight: 264.8 lbs (It was nice to see another number besides 266.:P)
Loss of: 1.4 lbs
Total Loss: 19 lbs
So something is going on with my body here it seems to 'hold weight' for a day then dump. At least in the last several days I have had more then a pound of loss. I'm good. heh.
I had a scare. I ran out of HCG on Saturday morning, but luckly the refill was waiting for me up on our way to the bbq. nice.
I'm happy for the loss.
If I can, I have decided not to quite before Thanksgiving. I have not been a big fan of thanksgiving really. Lots of food and that seems to always be the American focus. Food food food. You see it everywhere and it's being pushed, and being overweight makes me want to say ENOUGH! I hate holidays that seem surrounded by food. It's always about the meals. I guess most people could eat normal, but do we? hmmmm. It seems like we waste ourselves all year to lose 5-10 lbs so we can eat like little piggies on these special occations. Why do our 'good food habits' seem to Nationally go out the window. And if you choose to lighten up a little, your ruining traditon, or your being a spoiled sport. I hear about it in a lot of families that have a person dieting. I have heard of so many daughters being sabotaged by their mothers for some reason. Don't your want your daughters to grow up to be cowboys? oops. wrong rant. hehe. Er. I mean, healthy? heh. The sins of the mother's (and I bet some fathers) should not rest on the shoulders of the daughters. I remember reading about one lady that got all hell from her mother for trying to loss weight. LIke lossing weight was rejecting the family. :S
Luckily I have very supportive sides of the family. So far everyone has been very nice and helpful. I got to eat with my parents tonight and had to explain to my mom several times that 'no, I can't eat beans, no not that either. um, only 3.5oz of that." They want to buy some lean meat at the store for next time. They are supportive but still a little hazy on the exactness of it. My dad went through some fruit selections. I'm like, nope just the 4. They were so proud of me.
It was funny. I told my mother in law that I don't eat cucumber really because for the weight and size of what you get it looks unfilling. Tonight I tried the cucumber salad with my fish. FILLING! I'm going to have to grab a couple cucumbers I gave back to her today. I made a KILLER cucumber salad. I simply used vinegar (it was one flavored with herbs and nothing else), lots of dill and some mustard powder! YUM! I almost forgot about it because it was in a bowl
OH! hehe. So my mom had these big dinner plates set out, I grabbed mine and traded it for a small lunch plate. It does make a difference. It helps make the eyes get appeased. :D I think I will make the cucumber again with fish. They seem to go well. My dad sliced them w/ a mandaline VERY thin. I could also make shreds I bet.
Had a tuna salad for lunch- yummy. again mixed with some vinegar, dill and some other spice.. not sure what it was again. hmmm.
Well, off to watch a show with the husband I think, but I'm in the mood to cuddle up with my grapefruit and a book in bed. LOL
anyone notice if they have problems eating right before bed? I like the snack and I don't get hungry by bedtime.

quick update
I went to a BBQ surrounded by:
Many sausages, 3 cakes, about a dozen bowls of chips, hamburgers, watermelon, cheese chilli dogs, and my protocol food. Guess what I ate? :D :D :D Totally stayed on protocol. Oh, and a huge ice tub full of ciders and beers.
Someone brought this amazing cake that they decorated with little mini's. It was so cute, but I really didn't feel like HAD to have some.
I even was asked only once if I wanted to try a chip. Sounded yummy. I said no thank you, end of that. YEAY!
I was good. I didn't manage my food as well. We got there around 2pm, I had already eaten my lunch, nibbling away on apples, and then I think I ate my dinner around 5pm. I drank a LOT of water and finally left around 9:30 and dived into my grapefruit in the car, though only seemed to need 1 slice. I LOVE HCG! 1 freaking slice helps you feel better. :D
I saved the rest for a little midnight snack while finishing a show. We are dragging our laptop into bed with us to watch our tv show w/o kid. Grandparents took him for the night! NICE! Thank you grandparents for putting up with our kid! :D It's so nice to have that in my life and get a night off.
OH- I asked the husband- when I'm on P4 I would like him to take me to a hotel for a weekend getaway and order room service in the morning. I LOVE room service. On our honeymoon I got the chickenpox, had to stay in the hotel and eat room service. I Don't think I could have had a better time! LOL. anywho.

R1P2: Day 19 of VLCD
Weight: 266.2 lbs
Loss of: .2 lbs
Total Loss: 17.6 lbs
WoW do the pounds not want to drop this week. Is it safe to assume that we can have a small dump in the middle? Or is this abnormal? At least I dropped .2 right? heh.
Fustrating. I was hoping for at least a .8-1.2 drop this morning. So close to 20 lbs.
Lunch: Chicken and Salad
Snack: Ate an apple
Dinner: Steak and Asparagus (same as the night before)
Missed out on a grapefruit, but had a lot of water.
Today is a BBQ, bring your own meat and a side dish. I plan on bringing fish and cucumbers. Maybe even asparagus.
I do see my face getting smaller. My friend said that my shoulder area was looking thinner plus neck. So, this is going to be a top down affair? :) Though I do see some strinking in my top stomach bulge. It is definably going away.
In the last seven days I had a 4.4 lb drop. No other diet would give me that. Plus drop inches in the most amazing places. I'll take it, grudgingly because this is the hCG diet. As someone said... we do get spoiled on this diet.
I haven't been hungry, though it's been a little tough this week seeing other's food, some cravings have kicked in, but not tempted enough. :) So that makes it well worth it.
Wish me luck for today.

R1P2: Day 18 of VLCD
Weight: 266.4 lbs
Loss of: 1.4 lbs
Total Loss: 17.4 lbs
YEAY! I was thinking that today I had to loss if it was a simple 'water in the fat cells'
It is very comforting to read Pounds and Inches over again and seeing what he talks about. I knew I wasn't going to do the apple day. I rather just wait for the drop then put myself through 6 apples. LOL.
I have enjoyed putting an apple in my afternoon snack. I can just linger and most time I don't finish it. It's my tie me over snack.
Last night a friend came over and they made my favorite- French Dip and macaroni & Cheese. I just put my nose in the mac/cheese and took 3 good smells. My goodness it was like eating it. It almost made me full just smelling it. Then I made myself a steak and asparagus. OMG! That was such an amazing dinner. I told the guys that it was the perfect replacement to the french dip.
I'm going to attempt to measure myself, but I'm not great at consistancy in placement. I go once a month to the gym to get measured, but I will just try what I can today and compare numbers. heh.
I'm happy for the loss, as I stepped on the scale I kept saying "just don't gain on me okay!" and it did better. I want to get back to the 1lb average. I'm at .97. I would love to be 200 by the start of November. Yes that is 66 more pounds, but we will see. It's a wish. I would love to be in a size 16/18 outfit for Halloween!
Lunch: Lettuce and Shrimp again. Very filling and yummy. I didn't over season it, just plan with some garlic and lemon.
snack: apple
Dinner: Steak and Asparagus very lightly seasoned with lemon, steak with some mustard powder and garlic.
Snack: 1/2 grapefruit that I stringed out till bed.
anywho

possible reason for stalling
I concider anything under the .6/.8 loss a stall. :)
I read Pounds and Inches and feel a bit better:
Page 67: This could be it. Water retention due to fat cells! I HOPE!
The weight registered by the scale is determined by two processes not necessarily synchronized. Under the influence of HCG, fat is being extracted from the cells, in which it is stored in the fatty tissue. When these cells are empty and therefore serve no purpose, the body breaks down the cellular structure and absorbs it, but breaking up of useless cells, connective tissue, blood vessels, etc., may lag behind the process of fat-extraction. When this happens the body appears to replace some of the extracted fat with water which is retained for this purpose. As water is heavier than fat the scales may show no loss of weight, although sufficient fat has actually been consumed to make up for the deficit in the 500-Calorie diet. When then such tissue is finally broken down, the water is liberated and there is a sudden flood of urine and a marked loss of weight. This simple interpretation of what is really an extremely complex mechanism is the one we give those patients who want to know why it is that on certain days they do not lose, though they have committed no dietary error.

I'm a little befuddled on why I have slowed down SO MUCH.
I have been on protocol. I have drank a LOT of water. I have eaten foods that general help loss.
Now I know there are times when you slow down and loss inches, is that what others see too? 3rd week, and I have a 0, .4, .4, .2 loss.
Love the input.

R1P2: Day 16 of VLCD
Weight: 268 lbs
Loss of: .4 lbs
Total Loss: 15.8 lbs
So, I think it's the spinach. I tried the spinach on the 24th w/ veggie wash. Nope. Today I have loose bowels again. Sorry for TMI, but I'm frustrated w/ this. Though no spinach yesterday, and no lose bowel.
I will play with my menu some more. But I just feel the spinach is the bad guy.
I have enjoyed my food. yesterday I made a fish and tomato combo. YUM. It actually was really filling. Like a soup because the tomatoes juiced up a bit. I was asked what sauce I added w/ it, but I said it was simply the tomatoes. She then asked for a list of recipes I have been using.
I had Leaf lettuce w/ beef last night. Yum! I put 1/2 the lettuce aside to make a side salad for later snacking. Didn't need it though. I was just so satisfied.
I am a bit disappointed w/ the .4 loss. So it's been 0, .4, .4. I'm waiting for the 5lb loss!! hehe. Okay. I will take another 1.8 this week.
I thought i would have to cheat on Saturday at the BBQ, but was told that we bring our own meat. So no cheat needed for me. Doc and I had a plan. No plan needed now. I can save that card. (I think I already posted this? hmm I wish I had the option in my post to look at previous posts)
I would also like the option of following other peoples posts after I comment just in case someone responds to me in their blog. I want to make sure to follow up.
Today I am going to declutter the living room. My husband helped me declutter our dining area of toys this last weekend. Our son has TOO MANY toys and he keeps, okay we ALL keep tripping over stuff.
It's funny, I love that he gets these outside construction toys, but it has gotten to the point he can't even play in his dirt box. lol. But everyone loves giving him construction toys and it gets him outside.
I need to go back to my organization. I have a system that I have fallen behind. I make one thing my big hobby and the hcg has been that hobby so several things have gotten put on the back burner. :P
I know the hcg will become 'old hat' for me which will become part of my normal day so it won't take so much energy figuring things out, I will have my charts perfected.
OH- Dreaming has been WEIRD! 3 things in my DREAMS:
1. I went to a coffee shop, asked for sugar free chocolate treat in the coffee, but I started to drink and realized OH GOODNESS! MILK! So that was the end of that. Though when I woke up I could still taste the chocolate. Mmmmmmm
2. I sat with friends and was half way into an english muffin before I realized I just consumed Bread! NOooo. I quickly spit it out, and people looked at me. I told them it had adverse effects to my meds. LOL Even in my dreams I'm not being up front about the hCG. heh.
3. I was putting on a play, and all my actors were finishing up and I told them that 'tomorrows performance, then lets go have a serious cast party at my house, whole cast is invited!" then I realized. doh. I won't be able to drink!
I can't even have 'fun' in my dreams. hehe. But it really has permeated into my dreaming world. Amazing. I'm on protocol in my dreams! yeay! Now come weight loss! I wanna eat a slice of cheese! hehe

Poll! Cheese or Bread!
If you had to choose between cheese or bread which would it be?
This, a month ago, would have been like asking me cheese or chocolate. (I still don't have an answer for that one)
I find that I have HUGE bread cravings. But right now it's about the cheese. who cares about the bread.
Interesting find- The lady at the co-op said that the Candida is known for 'craving' bread. Now I like a good english muffin w/ warm butter, but I would rather sit down to a hunk of bree! I wonder if all this time its the Candida talking and not me. heh.

update- doctor visit
So I went to the doctors today. She is upping my morning dose of SL but lowering my night dose. She understands that it's a playing around trick. There is no 'one size fits all' (Unless we all lose weight and get into size 8 jeans! hehe)
We will see how it goes. Officially I lost 16 lbs on the office records. Yeay! 15.4 at home. heh.
anywho.

.4 loss after doing SO good yesterday. I also didn't get a big WHOOOSH drop after my period. Hmm. But I did keep losing during my TOM. I feel it has sort of slowed down after my TOM. hehe.
I drank 6 liters of water, and no broccoli.
I see the doctors today. I get to show her my progress, buy more hcg and talk to her about stuff.
I had crab with lettuce, and chicken with spinach last night. I washed the spinach really well with a veggie wash. I took my vitamin and potassium. I took 3 of the 99mg. I drank weightless tea as well.
Since my awesome doctor is pretty far away I need to get ready. I have take up a lunch with me this time too. That will be a first for me.
anywho

quick up date
I have finally come to the conclusion that Broccoli, as good as it is, will not work for me. I knew this but I didn't really groc it. Sigh. I enjoy Broccoli and would like to have more choices.
I went to my co-op today and they do not have asparagus because it is out of season. Now do I stick w/ whole foods that ARE in season? But that limits me, so I might just go to another store to pick some up.
I also got some weightless tea to help with any exercise water weight I retain. I'm taking out some big guns! :)
Yesterday was a bored day for me, I realized. Today was rather good, though I did off spice my dinner. Tried for a curry spinach thing. Too watery. oops. But I do enjoy a good curry.
I noticed I'm going through the cravings for food of another color. I want to lick my husbands plate for him. I want sour cream like there is no Tomorrow!!!! I swear I would love to take a one week break just to eat cheese. mmmm cheese.
Tomorrow I go to the doctors and find out exactly what it means to 'go the distance' and we will 'go all the way'. I want to know if she does a week break here and there? I really like that idea of dropping perhaps 35 lbs, then taking a week off or two to make sure I don't get immune too quickly. I'm so scared that I will hit immunity quickly and then I have to take a 6 week break. Grumble. Time will tell.
I'm off to watch a little tv w/ the hubby and finish my organic YUMMY orange. I kept it plain because it was so good. No OJ Julius for me tonight. (blend it w/ stevia vanilla YUM)

R1P2: Day 13 of VLCD
Weight: 268.8 lbs
Loss of: 1.8 lbs
Total Loss: 15 lbs
My first No loss day. I ate broccoli since I needed to mix it up a little. I wasn't feeling good for the last two days either. I didn't drink enough water either.
Its funny. I lost 15 lbs in the last two weeks, and a 'no loss' is a little stringing. heh. Oh well.
My goal for today- drink at least 5 liters of water, get some asparagus. Play around with it since I have it on my list. I also have zucchini on my list but I hear that is a general no-no. We were wondering if perhaps my spinach wasn't good. I have had loose bowels for the last two days. Its easy to play 'name that food' when you get only 4 to choose from. LOL. I did the broccoli purposefully. I should have expected this. I actually woke up thinking- this is the day I gain.
Tomorrow. Always tomorrow. I'm also going to work on putting activity of the exercise sort into my routine. I have a membership.
I'm sort of bumbed, but its not hitting me hard. I know that with a little more water eating the right things I will lose. Easy as that.
anywho

R1P2: Day 12 of VLCD
Weight: 268.8 lbs - Skipped 269 all together
Loss of: 1.8 lbs
Total Loss: 15 lbs
Yesterday was a long day. Woke up okay, did some fun stuff, had our child stay over night with the grandparents so we could have a nice evening to ourselves. We went to bed late, and I nursed 1/2 grapefruit for maybe 3 hours. heh. I don't like going to bed too hungry. The thing is, we only get X amount of food, and this is most likely under the assumption of being awake X hours. The hCG has kept me satiated, if I go to bed 'on time' I feel completely fine the whole day, but when it stretches unreasonably, I make sure to 'ration' my food for a longer stretch. I think before the diet I would eat an extra meal at night because we sometimes stay up soooo late.
So, I am down to eating either lettuce or spinach. I need to find another veggie. I took out broccoli because it might cause weight gain. I don't like beat leaves, not sure about chards. I always mess them up so I don't eat it. I have a LOT of protein options so I feel good there. Honestly the two types of veggies haven't bothered me, but I hear you want to eat a wider variety. I do like the simplicity. I enjoy all the fruits listed. I have 4 to choose from. Not so hip on apples, my father used to go to farms and bring back HUGE boxes of apples, for a while there I thought it was the only fruit out there. heh.
I've been asked by my doctor to keep fruits 6 hours apart. If I know I will be up late, then it's no issue, but when Its 2-3pm I wonder. hmmm. But I figured it out. I will make sure to eat my lunch at 12noon, snack on a fruit around 2-4 or at 3 whole. Eat dinner at 6-7, Then a fruit snack around 9pm. My old diet habits have kicked in again and went 'how long can i hold out on eating' and I know that is NOT healthy. So a schedule will kick my butt into healthier actions.
I'm so excited to reach 15 lbs. This is the weight I told my doctor that I could lose before I see my parents. She knew i would lose more, I didn't. LOL. Even now, my goal weight has decreased to 135-140lbs instead of the 'hopeful 150'. With this diet I feel more confident that I can actually see below 200.
I'm having my favorite this morning- Taco Salad. :D P2 Style. SO YUMMY!! I'm defrosting some chicken to have tonight. Yum. Maybe something curry.

R1P2: Day 11 of VLCD
Weight: 270.6 lbs
Loss of: 0.8 lbs
Total Loss: 13.2 lbs
I took Broccoli out of my diet, but I did go down to a .8 loss. I think I didn't drink enough water through out the day.
I had both lunch and dinner a bed of lettuce. I've been on a lettuce kick. But lunch I had chicken, and dinner I had shrimp.
I had some things I was engaged in so I didn't worry about making the shrimp too fancy. Just garlic and lemon. Which is very yummy.
I made a lot of dressing so all I need to do is drizzle that over the lettuce.
I had 1 fruit yesterday. I keep missing a 2nd fruit. But my 1st fruit happened at the end of the day.

R1P2: Day 9 of VLCD - End of day
This morning:
Weight: 272.4 lbs
Loss of: 0.6 lbs
Total Loss:11.4 lbs
I looked back at my log, thank you Bella, and it seems that Broccoli might be the culprit. It seems that my .6 losses are the day after I had Broccoli. I seem to have a slightly different list of 'okay' foods. Melba Toast is not even on there, though I have to admit that is a good thing and should drop it anyways. I think this is why the doctor did that. But Broc and Cauli both made it on the list, which I hear some people can't have cabbage as well. I ate cabbage one day, and it wasn't cooked right so I found it less then tasteful.
Today I allowed myself to have Shrimp. I was holding off since I wanted to get through the fish in the fridge. Some of it gotten a bit too old (maybe 5 oz) and so I took the opportunity to get rid of it, and enjoy Shrimp. A Shrimp Salad with too much chili powder. I threw together garlic, some onion, chili powder and I think that was it. Threw it together in a pan to warm it up, then all on a bed of salad.
OH! I bought myself one of those Syrup things for Waffles. I couldn't seem to find a good spritzer for my dressings. It worked fine.
This week so far has been a good week. I feel perky and the sun shining on me. I dont' feel hungry for the most part. Yes I get hungry with dinner time, or lunch, but that is to be expected.
I went to the gym today to get measured. She was happy to see my weight loss and my 4 inches lost, but was weird about the fast progression. I told her I was taking some meds from the doctor and that was it, she seemed to move on quickly. I was thankful. I have run into people who are so darned nosy about everything that they give you the 20 questions. Complete strangers do not need to know about my love life! Or how many children I will be having, and how my numbers might be off?!? So this 'drop it before it even starts' felt good. I hate being rude and feel like I owe people explanations. You know what.. not everyone with everything needs an explanation!
My parents and I are going to see each other next weekend. I'm excited to see if they notice a difference. I think I have noticed it in my pants. They feel not as tight. Normally I got pants that sag a little below the knee, and above the waist but are TIGHT around the thigh. The pants I wore today sort of 'draped' Now honestly, it looked nice, but not sure how much of it was stretching of the pants, BUT I DON'T CARE! I'm taking it! My other pants I'm suppose to wear next year in Mexico... ya, they are almost dropping of me. They were lose to begin with so I had comfort, but now they are like obviously a size or two too big for me.
I had a friend ask what we wanted to wear for Halloween. I told him 'I'm done being silly things that didn't require size.. I want to wear something sort of sexy this time, if I can get to my size 18/16!" Last year I was 'Bird Flu' since I had a cold and wore a mask to a party. I stapled a bird beak on it, wore all orange and walked around. This year I was thinking 'Swine Flu' BUT that would be a 'fat' mentality I want to leave stranded on the side of the road. I don't want to wear 'fat' costumes. One year my hubby and I did sort of a 'big oil and president' thing, hubby a president, and me as big oil. I got to wear a big costume. I always look for 'big' costumes. This year I want to wear medium or large costumes, not BIG. I am totally into halloween. I tend to dye my hear black, wear a gothic outfit (still in my closet, don't have the heart to part w/ it) and MAYBE this year I might fit into it. I love giving out candy as a goth chick! The costume is as comfy as all get out. Oh, when I was skinny I used to wear a cat costume every year. Not slut kitty, but cute kitty. I had these ears and tail, wore spandex type pants and a black shirt. HOnestly it was cute on me, but when I added the pounds, it looked very SAD on me. heh.
anywho.

R1P2: Day 9 of VLCD
Weight yesterday: 273, loss of 1.4lbs
This morning:
Weight: 272.4 lbs
Loss of: 0.6 lbs
Total Loss:11.4 lbs
I've done a sort of .6, 1.4, .6, 1.4 loss. not complaining, find it intersting.
I've forgotten a fruit for the last two days. one in the morning a day ago, and one in the evening last night. I went to be SUPER early to wake up at 5am to drive a friend to the airport. It's summer Its summer, I thought the sun would be up already. nope. heh.
This is going to be a bit of a test for me, I will come home and sleep again.
I've been doing these iced coffees in the morning w/ vanilla stevia. Yummy. I tried also drinking 5-6 liters of water to see if the weight would possibly be tied to my water, but seems not totally. I also ate a steak last night. lean, but there was some small viens of fat me thinks! Sigh. I couldn't cut them out properly but it wasn't much. I've sort of been tuckered out of seafood. I had cod with rosemary, lemon, and garlic. yummy once I ate w/ with some broccoli mixed with vinegar and seasonings, but going into the kitchen hasn't been 'yeay, fish!" heh. I just need to keep mixing it up.
It's funny, I think I have lost some inches around my top stomach, which actually makes me look more pregnant because its 'rounder' not big and flat. the sides are melting away so it looks like I have more pronounced stomach. Makes my stomach look like a thinner person becoming fat.
I'm not really feeling hungry at all anymore. There are moments when I get a little peckish, but that is also 3-4 hours after my last meal and I'm bored. If I keep busy I'm surprisingly never hungry.
Okay- off to shower and take friends to the airport!

R1P2: Day 7 of VLCD
Weight: 274.4 lbs
Loss of: 0.6 lbs
Total Loss: 9.4 lbs
Oh. I hope to tip the scale or rather see the scale at a 10 lb loss tomorrow, but I don't want to jinx it.
I had coffee frap for breakfast- Coffee, crushed ice, and vanilla stevia. yum.
Lunch: Taco Salad like I had yesterday. OMG good! My favorite meal by far.
Old style taco salad: Fritos, meat, salsa, cheese.
New style Taco salad: Bed of lettuce, spicied up meat and a vinegar dressing.
Dinner. I whipped up a chicken spicy curry. I wasn't expecting it to be so hot. I think w/o the coconut milk it's spicier. yowzer.
Every since my break down of understanding what has been keeping me depressed I've felt full of sunshine honestly. Its been a bright day of doing things. It's been nice to feel up beat and happy. I'm very curious what my weight loss will be light after i'm done with TOM.
I have so enjoyed making meals. I realize that I want to make such meals all the time but am too lazy. I don't start preparing till its too late hunger wise and end up microwaving some frozen stuff or dump 3 or 4 cans of 'stuff' together to make some stew/casserole. SO MUCH processed food in our diet. YUCK. I don't like the stuff because I know it's not that healthy, but its so 'right there' to cook. I told the hubby to eat what you want, but we will slowly move that crap outta the house.
We got containers to put stuff in, and I split up all the food. I feel very organized. I have a plan. I have a chicken box, a beef box, and fish box. I have enjoyed the beef a lot and makes me wanna slow down on all the fish I ate. I have still a bunch more to eat that is int he fridge before I allow myself the shrimp I bought. A bunch of stuff frozen so I can take bits out. Lots of broccoli and spinach to feed a family of 10. heh.
We are taking pictures of me pretty regularly. I want to take them each 10 lbs. Then do a montage. :D that would be fun if I can get myself in a similar position by the kitchen and then see the fat 'melt' away.
I've been playing around with making a short film about the path I'm on. I did one when I was pregnant for a film class I took and it turned out better then expected. So I might start capturing footage to work with when I get close to my goal weight.
That's it for tonight I think. I'm curious if my chiropractor will notice anything tomorrow. Though he didn't seem to notice my recent upswing in weight, or he was just being nice. hehe. Though I guess what is 10 lbs really on a fat gal. :P
